PILLOW PETS adds Secret Life of Pets Pillow Pets to its collection, featuring Max, Duke, Snowball, and Gidget from the movie. The plush transforms from a character into a pillow sleep buddy.
MOOSE TOYS expands Scruff-a-Luvs with ScruffBunnies. They arrive as a sad ball of a-Luvs Blossom Bunnies matted fur, but kids can bathe them, dry them, and brush them to reveal what’s underneath. Blossom Bunnies are available in green, pink, or yellow, but the color remains a mystery until kids open the package. Each Scruff-a-Luv Blossom Bunny includes a brush for grooming, a flower crown, and an adoption certificate.
WICKED COOL TOYS adds the 10-inch Pokémon Detective Pikachu Movie Feature Plush to its Pokémon collection. The plush features two voice modes: Detective Pikachu and Pikachu. Kids can press its chest when they want to hear Detective Pikachu speak, and press it again when they only want to hear Pikachu’s voice. Designed for kids ages 6 and up, the plush figure also features more than 14 responses, motorized ears, and a detective hat.
BASIC FUN! launches Cutetitos Babitos this fall. Babitos are 3-inch plush animal characters — including a Giraffito, Owlito, Chipmunkito, and more — with hot spot personalities that come hidden in a burrito blanket. Each of the 12 different Babitos characters also comes with a gender-reveal diaper. Pound Puppies are authentic reproductions that look and feel like the originals, available this fall. There are a variety of puppies with different facial and eye expressions, ear lengths, and fur colors in an updated soft material. Each comes in a pet carrier-shaped package and includes a tag, a care sheet, and official adoption papers. Each line is designed for kids ages 3 and up.
